Testimonial

I Can’t recommend this course or speak highly enough about it! I’ll definitely be keen to do more courses in a similar format – the length of the course, content and structure made it really achievable to fit in to the rest of life. The IWC is doing some amazing work!Training participant – Water Reform & Governance online course

APPLIED RESEARCH

The International WaterCentre leads whole-of-water cycle, transdisciplinary and collaborative research activities, which address current and emerging water issues to influence water management, policy, education and leadership. Our research is empirical, problem-based and generates useful new knowledge.

CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIPS

Our Capacity Development Partnerships support organisations to deliver more effective programming, build sector capacity, and contribute to improving the health and wellbeing of communities, the environment and economies.

We work with our partners to identify and address team knowledge and skills gaps to ensure partner teams have the capacity, skills, tools and motivation to empower individuals and organisations to collectively deliver more sustainable and high-quality program outcomes.

Successful partnerships demonstrate the ability for teams to collectively:

Effectively engage and relate to local stakeholders and strengthen local leadership

Conduct sophisticated analysis that leads to programs that are coherent with context

Value ‘best fit’ for the context over ‘best practice’; as one size does not fit all
